Salvador Dali- Who doesn't know this guy, great surrealistic artist with an interesting intellectual mind I didn't like him when I was a child, found some of his painting scary, and I've been burden with that opinion up till now. Anyway, I must admit that the Jesuschrist on the cross he painted was an amazing drawing Yes, I can imagine that, but geniality always comes with a stroke of madness  I don't know if he's mentioned already but I like the the Dutch painter "Carel Willink" very much too. The threatening that goes out of using dark and light colours and sharp lines and details in his paintings: Very beautiful! For example:   |

agree with you, mentioned him already, my favourite painting of him is Simeon the stylite  The picture isn't that good, but behind Simeon the world is burning in a rage of war. This was painted in 1939, a year before wwII. But he's made many great pictures. |

THose drawings are amazing!!!!!! I had never heard of him, though that's easy since I'm an ignorant in painting and sculpture; anyway I must say I love the drawings you've posted... I couldn't choose the best, though the one of Simeon is really impressive. The first one posted by Janneke is great too. By the way, I remember a drawing I once was showed at secoundary school when I was 16; I liked it a lot, but don't remember it's name, maybe somebody could help me. It was a drawing of an skeleton inside a coffin, being the coffin on a wall; it was much grey coloured. The period... I can't remember exactly, but it was before Romanticism... could it be barroque? It's more or less this style:  |

Didn't he make the great artwork from Thyrfing too? Really beautiful! Also wanted to recommend a Tsjech artist. He is a photographer and works on his pictures extensively. The result is sheer art. Very impressive! andrzejdragan.com/ |

OH! I absolutely adore Simberg! I used his Syksy painting for an essay I did in art class.
I love the anonymous prehistoric artists as well, who created the Venuses and the Sorcerers of Le Trois Freres.
Munch and Bosch among others...
I love Bauer too! His troll art melts me. And I like Samuli Ponsimaa as well ;D

in my town there were showed some very old artworks from the 'gebroeders van Limburg', two Dutch painters from the year 1400!!(they lived in Nijmegen, just like me  ) their work was showed because they had to restore the work before they putted it somewhere where the artworks wouldn't get damaged, so it was one time and never again, they say  . it was very beautiful! it are so small drawings, maybe 8 or 10 centimeters, but you can see all the smallest details very clearly. www.gebroedersvanlimburg.nl/I also like the work of Amy brown and other fantasy painters |

Chech out this web-site:www.mjules.com This guy is a hungarian artist,he made a whole bunch of Cd covers for various bands.For example,Grave Digger,Sear Bliss etc.
The Iron Maiden tribute cover is the best in my opinion.
